He's funny and his interactions with FemShep in particular are gratifying.

Am I the only one that found it unbearable? They should have made his flirtation universal for both Shepard's genders. I would love to see the butthurt that would result if he said half the things he does to FemShep to MaleShep:

"I might just get a little bit distracted! Even more distracted..."
*Leers at Sheploo's crotch*

Not as cool as Captain Calibrator, but okay. Obviously lacks reach and flexibility and badass remarks. Would have prefered Wrex\\Grunt instead.

I wanted Coats as a squad member but Vega turned out to be alright in my book.

I like him. He's a breath of fresh air in some ways :-) a light-hearted character in a pretty screwed up galaxy.

I was always open-minded about Vega from the start and thought that Jersey Shore crap was the height of stupidity. Vega was a good man, and the banter was fun on my femShep, so I quite liked him. I wish I could've taken him along more, but I had conflicting urges when it came to who I was going to take on which missions. If only you could take three people with you at a time. :P

I thought he'd be either stupid or a douchebag. After playing ME3, I saw him being neither and quite liked him.

And I hate being called 'Lola' as FemShep. I wish I could throw him out of an airlock when he said that.

Pissed me right the hell off. Even if you tell him to call Shepard "Commander," you still have to deal with his bumbling flirtation.

And his line after Thessia. Ye gods.


Not as bad as Fem shep throwing herself on every male character except Thane, which actually had a build up. Even with Garrus, she basically said "you want to test my flexibiity and your reach" (not an exact quote). Very classy Fem Shep

I found Vega inoffensive. Husband's only comment was "someone over-did the traps."

As often happens, I'm with AtreiyaN7. I never quite got what all the controversy was about.

I didn't know what to think of him before the game, but once I started playing I started to like his character. Plus, he saved my butt on insanity. He never freaking died. I liked the flirting, but I also like that he wasn't an LI, he doesn't seem the type for a relationship.

Look at the guy.  Then look at a picture of the cast of Jersey shore.  He looks like one of them.  Thats pretty much the jersey shore thing.

I really liked him after playing, but didn't care either way about him before I did.

I wish BioWare had made him an LI. Without him, straight FemSheps who didn't save Kaidan or romance Garrus in ME2 end up alone.

The only one FemShep throws herself at is Jacob. In order to get that line in Garrus' conversation path, you have to knowingly pick what is obviously romance dialogue. Twice. At the very least with Jacob, you could wade through the writing fail and occasionally have a normal conversation with him. With Vega, it's much worse. Shepard is Vega's superior officer. You don't disrespect your superiors in such a manner. You wouldn't walk up to your boss, leer, and comment on his or her body at every opportunity. Your arse would be redundant within five seconds. Seriously. They're military for chrissakes. At every other point in the series that Shepard gets such comments, you can choose to shut them down. With Vega, you cannot tell him to knock it the f*ck off.

I thought he was okay. Wish his introduction hadn't been so brief.

Shep: "James!"
Me: "Uhhhh... Who what where now?"

I know! I was like "Who is this? ... And can I keep him?"

Didn't really have a problem with the character.

Would I take Zaeed over him? 

Any day.

I couldn't agree more.

After playing the game, has your opinion of him changed at all? Mine hasn't. I thought he'd be cool before and was a little put off by the "Jersey Effect"/"Mass Shore" comments. He's a legitimately good character. He's funny at times. And come on, carnage? I love that power. As I said he's funny, he has a interesting and dare I say compelling back story, and his ambient banter with Garrus and Javik make me laugh every time.


Is he an appropriate character in the series? Sure... but do I use him on missions? No. I'm already connected to Garrus via bromance and Liara via regular romance.

His conversations were meh, but the jokes were pretty good.

In the first encounter on the Normandy after you can explore, it was Fem Shep that commentated on his physique while he was doing his pull ups and then he responded "you have to try better than that to make me blush" That pretty much set the tone between them. A little banter back and forth that leads to nothing was harmless.

I especially like the part when him Garrus are trying to up eahother on their military accomplishments/battles. :D He had me laughing when he said he trained a baby Harvester to let him ride. lol

Accusing James of acting inappropriate with Femshep is a bit like accusing the Consort in ME1 of rape. The fact of the matter is that while the player may not appreciate or consent to what is happening Shepard in universe does. The player is not in full control of Shepard. Shepard likes Vega's flirting and the Consort's gift whether you do or not and because of this their behaviour is not something we can fault them for.

To you, maybe. It pisses me off. It may start off as a failure of the auto-dialogue system (which was a terrible addition to begin with), but after you decline his stupid nicknaming, it should stop. If you like it, good for you. But every time something idiotic like that comes out of his mouth, I want to tell him to GTFO.

A litmus test: if Vega hit on BroShep in the same fashion, how do you think most players would react?

Before playing the game: wtf, why'd they add a juiced up ****** to the game?

After playing the game: wtf, why'd they make Freddie Prinze Jr into a juiced up ******? They should've just made James look like him like how Miranda was based on the actress.

Not sure how Freddie Prince Jr. wasn't a Femshep romance off the bat.

FP Jr is a recognizable face. ME fans would have been very critical...maybe not as much as Jessica Chobot but along those lines.
